Meet The Founder
My name is Surayya Hassan, and I am the founder of The Holding Space.
After two decades in the corporate world, I reached a point where I could no longer ignore the call to step away. What followed was not a neat transition but a messy, difficult process of change - a move into what I call the liminal space. That place between what was and what is yet to come.
It is in this space that the real work happens.
Healing is not easy. It is not quick or tidy. It asks us to slow down and face what we have been avoiding, to sit with uncertainty, discomfort, and sometimes grief.
The Holding Space was born from my own need for a grounded place to do this work - a place where unraveling is not feared but honored. A place where stories, breath, movement, and connection become medicine.
This is not about fixing or rushing through change. It is about sitting with what is, gently and honestly, and allowing transformation to unfold in its own time.

Who Is This Space For
This is for the woman who feels something shifting, even if she cannot yet name it.
Who is standing at a crossroads - in work, relationships, or identity.
Who has tried the usual solutions but still feels something missing.
Who does not want to be fixed but wants to be held as she is.
What We Offer
The Holding Space brings together practices that recognise the complexity of what it means to be human:
Therapeutic Yin and Restorative Yoga
Yoga Therapy
Breathwork
One-on-one and group, integrative well-being sessions
All of it is invitational. There is no expectation to perform or be anything but yourself.
A Closing Word
You might find yourself here because something has shifted. Perhaps something has ended. Perhaps something new is beginning, but you cannot yet name it.
This space was created for that moment.
Here, you are welcome to exhale. To rest. To listen inward. To reimagine what well-being might feel like for you, not as something to achieve, but as something to come home to.
Join me to co-create a space where your well-being and story matter.
Together, we explore a more authentic path to being well, embracing change with care and remembering that what you need is already within you.
Role and Focus
The core focus of The Holding Space is to offer women a gentle and sustainable approach to well-being, especially during times of change, transition, or uncertainty. We honor the unfolding of each person’s path and meet you with presence, care, and deep respect for your timing.
Join me in co-creating a space where your well-being and story truly matter.
